Profile:
Douglas Carr had an unusual career in first class cricket. One
of the first bowlers to master the googly, he came into the Kent
team at the age of 37. He met with immediate success against
batsman mystified by the new technique, and played firstly for
the Gentlemen against the Players at LordŐs, and then to face
the Australians in the final Test of 1909. He took 7 wickets in
this, his only test, but was expensive (Dave Liverman, 1998).
